 Piccies of our growing crops! Hi Gang, managed to get a few piccies of some of the first of our crops, thought some of you may like a look! Let us know what you think! 1st piccy is of our Naga Jolokia chillies, nearing ripeness at 4" long! (plot1) 2nd piccy is our first cucumber in the greenhouse, currently about 2" long! (plot1) 3rd piccy is of our first early spuds, on plot2! 4th piccy is the fartichokes next to the pond (plot1) Last piccy is of our flowering broad beans! (plot1) Enjoy!

| Other crops - home garden! As the title says! First piccy is of the plastic walk in greenhouse, methinks its a bit crowded! Second piccy is of our first truss of toms! Third Piccy is of 3 of our heritage variety spuds that we are growing in containers! Fourth piccy is of our cut and come again salad leaf, herbs in pots and the strawberries (flowering) in planters made from plastic 25l oil drums! Fifth piccy is of one of the strawberry hanging baskets! Anyone else want to add some piccies of their veg?

| Tea! It was a bit dark and wet for piccys at the Hill tonight, but here's what I picked for my tea - the potatoes are rocket, and in the pan are some spinach thinnings (hector f1)

| WOW! I feel quite slow of the mark now! Looks fantastic, well done you guys. Most of what I have are still in plastic vending cups apart from my courgettes which I've moved into larger pots. Here are my strawberries, but I inherited them from the previous keeper. (they're the whitish area towards the back of the plot). |

| Thanks for all the kind comnments guys n gals! Hazel, your 'tea' looks great! Your deffo ahead of us with the spuds! Moggssue, we got a four heritage varieties of spuds off another grape (Crazy Chickie) in return for a batch of leek seeds we sent her, and decided to plant them into tubs so we can ensure we can identify them and hopefully get enough to use some and save some for next year! HeyWayne, your plot looks fab too! Rustylady, the Naga Jolokias were put onto damp kitchen towel inside a sealed plastic bag in the heated propogator at the end of Jamuary, planted up once they had germinated and potted on a couple of times before planting out at the end of April! I know we were early putting them into the greenhouse, but they were getting soo big that we needed to do something, so in they went! They sufferred a week or so's check to growth, due to the temperature diff, but are now romping away! Now, where are everyoine elses piccies of their crops???? Come on folks, I didnt start this thread just to look for some kind words, but for all of us to show our crops, be they seedlings or mamoth plantlets! Lets see em folks!
